try to set in the script the env. variable TZ

I have a VPS based in Australia and have set system time to New Zealand so when I run #date I get NZDT, the correct time. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
However my cron jobs seem to be running on Australia time, firing two hours later than set. &nbsp;Do crons run on a different time clock?<br />
<br />
How can I check/adjust what time the cron should be firing. &nbsp; Note I use Plesk 9 to set up crons and adjust time but am comfortable with SSH if that might help diagnose the problem.<br />
